Bees as storm Warmers.

Herr Emmerig, Of Laningen, in an
article in Die Natur on German bees as
torn warmers, advances the theory that,
on the approach Of thunder storms, bees,
otherwise gentle and harmless, become
excited and exceedingly irritable, and
will at n c attack any one, even their
usual attendant, approaching their hives.
A succession of instances are given in
which the barometer and hygrometer
foretold a storm, the bees remaining
quiet, and no storm occurred; or the in
struments gave no intimation Of a storm,
but the bees for hours before were ir-
ritable, and the storm came.--Boston
Herald.

The ancient Roman coffin, according to
Pliny, was generally of stone In some
cases it was of a peculiar kind Of stone,
which was claimed to nave the faculty of
destroying the entire body with the ex-
ception of the teeth, in forty days. Hence
the name ''sarcophagus, " literally mean
ing flesh eater. The stone is now sup
posed to have been a species of limestone.

cluded all fakirs, gamblers and confidence
operators from attaching themselves to his

Photography has never reproduced nat

by the statement that color has no OBJ

Interpretation of the rapidity with which
the waves of n ray Of light beat against
the retina. Beats more rapid produce the
sensation Of the mind known as violet;
beats less rapid, that known as red. Violet

the brain translates. To photograph

How VoIapuk Sounds

Much as I have heard and read about
volapuk, the new language which M.
Schleyer hopes to make universal, I
never heard it talked until last week,
when among the guests at the hospit-
able table ef q well known medical man
OF literary tastes, there were two guests
who had actually sat the feet of the in
ventor Of Volapuk, so to speak, and
started that tongue under his personal
direction. To oblige the rest Of us,
these two visitors -one was a Russian
and the other a cosmopolitan engaged
in conversation in Volapuk for our
edification. would rather not write
down in black and white my impression
OF what | heard. One of the guests
suggested that Volapuk sounded like
double Dutch spoken by Choctaw In
dian suffering from chronic Group,
while another suggested it was more
q Welchman trying to cough in modern
Greek; but it must not be supposed that
/ endorse their evidently exaggerated
statements. Seriously however, I do
not think that Volapuk sounded like
the universal language Of the future,
though must say that MANY of its
words seem taken from roots common
